Not expecting to be getting any weapon fire from an unmanned mecha, the dragon doesn't even notice the arm moving to aim the cannon at it. The shot hits hard, causing a spray of blood to come out.

"Indestructible" by Disturbed
Partial lyrics:
"I am an indestructible master of war."

Gradicus was immediately grateful to Brazamal's advance of the protective talisman. Without it, the roaring monstrosity would have likely drawn Gradicus's own blood!

The young Atlantean beamed and cheered at Trent and Terra's blasts, yet he soured at the ill luck Kimberly was having to endure. It was delightful when fortune was blessing you, but blazing hell when it was cursing you. Perhaps, his dancing brain thought, if he taunted the dragon, Kimberly might score and join Trent and Terra in the glory of helping the nefarious reptile flap his damned self all the way to Hell!

Aye, the thing was not evil, for if it was, Summertime, Wintertime would have sliced even deeper, but it was dangerous still. That his blades were slick with the dragon's blood sent the cheers of thousands of audience-goers from his battles past ringing high in his ears! The memory of doing battle in the Arena of Champions gave his spirit added joy and resolve!

"Kimberly," he muttered, knowing well the incredible hearing the Blind Warrior Women possessed. "I draw him to me! Make use of it!"

Gradicus first touched his Blazing Comet tattoo, calling forth its great enchantments. Instantly, the tattoo crackled to life, rising out from his skin along with his potential psychic energy to envelop him in a second, weaker barrier.

Certain his teammates would probably think him crazy or cocky, Gradicus thought it would be worth it all if he could perhaps turn the dragon's sole attention upon himself. In Dragonese, Gradicus called out heartily, his challenge carrying over the splashing waves and violence.

"Dragon! Are you the River Serpent himself or just a poor excuse for one?" The gladiator lazily opened his arms wide and swaggered with the biggest boast he could think of.

"You bleed in pain and yet, here I stand! You die today! Worry not! You shall go down in memory - as a pair of boots under my heels! Ha ha ha!"

Then Gradicus spat on the dragon's wounds. He felt if that did not irk the serpent, then what would? With Summertime, Wintertime, Gradicus sliced again, both swords flashing like lightning across the deck! The Atlantean gladiator's very being was up and alive! Besides, he had a second dragon-boot to earn!

Confident in its strength, the dragon doesn't try to dodge; just an effort to parry. From his time in the arena fighting dragons, Gradicus can see what this monster is about to do, and you are able to step into its reach and completely bypass its defense. Your twin blades lance out once more, and this time they cut deep into the armored hide and another large chunk of flesh is ripped away.

This damage does not go unnoticed by the pilot of armored so suit two. It angles its wings down at you and fires off a trio of mini missiles at the Atlantian! They will hit unless you dodge.

The dragon launches itself up into the air and casts a spell. There is no visible effect.

Eric comes running out of the Betty with a handheld rocket launcher. He fires a round up at the dragon, but this time it is able to dodge out of the way.

Armored suit three also launches three missiles, but his target is Eric. They catch him off guard, and the explosion knocks him flat on his back. He manages to yell, "Damnit, that stung!" He scrambles up to his feet, and you can see that his clothes are shredded but the only sign that he was hurt is a bright red spot on his chest.

Partial lyrics:
"I am an indestructible master of war."

Gradicus saw the opening on the dragon and did not hesitate. He could not believe his fortune! His slash caused a blood spray that soaked part of his upper body and got onto his face. Basked in red, he could not help but grin. How strange the dragon blood's tasted! Gradicus dearly wished Lord Yamaguchi, his friend and mentor, were here to see this! He would have cheered so! So Gradicus cheered for him.

"YEEEEAAAHHH!!"

Despite his youthful elation at his strike, he hoped greatly that Kimberly could somehow fly and reach the dragon. He also wondered what magic the dragon just used. But he could not wonder long! The second Titan Power Armor fired a trio of its mini-missiles at him!

The dragon had dodged at least once. Gradicus felt if he began doing the same, he might lose out on a benefit that might mean the difference between life and death. He had to continue to attack the dragon with everything he had for the sake of everyone on board the River Walker.

Once more, Gradicus attempted to Automatic Roll and take half damage. Only doing that would allow him to keep up his offense and either chase the dragon away or see it dead!

Trent watched on as blows were traded with the dragon. Kimberly barely missed while Gradicus carved the giant reptile up like a Thanksgiving turkey. Half mesmerised by the spray of blood that had practically covered Gradicus he almost didnt notice Foss come out from behind with the rocket launcher. The rocket shot off towards the dragon but somehow it was able avoid being struck. What Trent saw next still was hard to take in. Foss was struck square in the chest by a rocket. While this isnt the first time he has witnessed something similar, it always makes his heart skip a beat.

In a moment of heated vengance, Trent repositioned the Ion Cannon and fired a blast at the 3rd armored suit, aiming to knock it out of the sky as if it were a target skeet.

Spoiler: Error

Ignore the 2nd die roll for the ion cannon.. clicked the wrong button as I was trying to roll damage...

The ion turret swings around rapidly, and the beam fires off at the suit of powered armor. The operator tries to evade, but Trent's aim is dead on. The armor is damaged, but far from being disabled.

Kimberly Finn​

Visibly frustrated by repeated failure, Kimberly nods in response to Gradicus' tactic, charging in with her lightning swift sword for another slash. But by the time she closes the distance, the great beast has already taken to the air. Not to be outdone, the Mystic Knight lifts her gleaming silver sword towards the flying dragon. A moment later, her armor lights up as a halo of energy briefly surrounds her before flowing across her form to distill up the length of her sword, briefly turning it into a flaming beacon. Then a projectile of pure magical energy thunders forth at the dragon.

The mystic bolt flies or straight and true, and it hits the dragon square in the chest. But, instead of doing more harm to the wounded creature, the bolt hits something just short of its body and detonates there. It must be a result of the spell it cast just moments before; perhaps some sort of force field.

Shaona, technowizard

The barrier seems to do its job to protect the more vulnerable crew members just fine - and those who are still out in the open do even better, apparently. In some cases, that is to be expected - if she is not mistaken, the Atlantean slayers wears a talisman similar to the one she brought, and a decent sense for incoming danger is also visible. In other cases, it's slightly unexpected - Shaona certainly makes a mental note to remove Eric from the "random bully"-list as she sees him withstand what should have been a deadly volley. Guess Brazamal took a closer look than I did, as always.

On the other side of the encounter, the damage taken looks more severe - the armor suits might hold on for now, but the dragon is already back in the air, doing its best to evade the deadly swords. Perhaps more vulnerable than she expected, given all the tales you hear. Guess blind women and Atlanteans fighting alongside each other can change a certainty or two.

Not all of them, though. Swords do little when the foe is mid-air, and barriers can stop unexpected magic. There are other ways to bring down beasts, though - there are other spells than those that burn through flesh. Once more, Shaona takes aim, this time at the dragon - instead of carefully eyeing her target through the scope, however, the technowizard only points the barrel in the general direction of the dragon while mumbling a number of Russian words. To bind the beast, to hold it in place. When she pulls the trigger, no shots can be heard - instead, a ball of silken strings seems to leave the weapon's depths, unfolding as it gets closer to its target - a wide net to somehow trap the dragon, to hinder its movements and the strokes of its wings.

Shaona casts her spell, and the thick thread shots out and wrap up around the dragon, fouling its wings and making it drop back to the deck like a large rock with a loud thud.

Armored suit one arcs around and fires a burst from its rail gun at Kimberly. It's shot will hit unless you dodge.

Kimberly Finn​

Although her own mystic energy bolt does little, Kimberly notes the other Atlantean, the wizard, bringing the dragon back down to the deck with a net. While the great beast remains her priority, Kimberly doesn't need eyes to track every target moving around her. She senses when the flying armored suit sights her in and opens fire. Without even looking back, the Mystic Knight strides towards the dragon with sword upraised while her shield swings out in a backhanded motion. The golden sheen around the white-rose-embossed surface flares as the electromagnetically accelerated ammunition strikes and ricochets right back on the source!

OOC: Targeted Deflection is one of Kimberly's active effects. When using a parry with her barrier shield, she can bounce it as long as her total roll is over 13, which, well...as long as a natural 2 isn't an automatic failure, it's a bounce back.

[Sherwood]

Up on the deck Kimberly is able to reflect the shot back at the armored suit, and you manage to hit it for light damage.

Down in the engine room, Blake is able to dial up the power output of the engines and the speed of the ship increases enough to get the River Walker some extra distance from the two remaining gun boats. Blake knows that this extra bit of speed will last for some time, but if you want to boost the MDC of the engines, it will take you many hours to do so, and you'll need your tools and extra armor plating. Do you want to stay down in the engine room, or do you want to go back up top of the ship instead?

Gradicus the Red Edge

Spoiler: More Mood Music

"Indestructible" by Disturbed
Partial lyrics:
"I am an indestructible master of war."

It was one thing when earlier Gradicus saw the superhuman Eric Foss lift the back end of the roughly 20-ton Badger and move it without so much as breaking a sweat. Now to see him taking blows that would have instantly killed a typical human brought up many thoughts. He seemed physically stronger than the very dragon they were facing and perhaps as tough. He wondered, but not for long. He knew his curiosity would have to take a backseat while his fighting brain continued to drive. So he fought on!

With the taste of the dragon's blood in his mouth, Gradicus flanked the creature in another attempt to give Kimberly the monster's rear. Gradicus felt if his taunts and blows could not keep the dragon's attention, what could?

Along the deck of the the River Walker, Gradicus roared again just as if he would have were he still fighting for his life in the Arena of Champions. If they could keep up the pressure on the creature, they might get out of this without any fatalities in their own group. "Harken!" he called to his teammates, especially Terra, though he was careful not to use her name. "Focus on the dragon, not the boats or Titans! He is the head! We take his head and the rest of the River Serpents fall or share his fate!

He used himself as example to keep up the pressure on the dragon. Gradicus the Red Edge ferociously slashed at the magical barrier with Summertime, Wintertime in an effort to get at the dragon and keep him off-balance and on the defensive.

"Die, River Serpent!" he swung. "You will contaminate these waters no more with your treachery!"

[Sherwood]

When Gradicus swings this time, his swords make a lethal wound to the dragon. With a loud scream, the dragon shudders while still imprisoned in the Magic Net and a huge gout of blood comes spraying out, then it lies still.

At the sight of the dragon getting killed, armored suit two breaks off its attack and bolts back to the gun boat that it launched off of. It is still within seven hundred feet of your ship, so if you are so inclined to attack out, you can.

Eric sees that the one suit is making a run for it, so he shifts his aim to armored suit one. This time, his missile hits and explodes into flame on the armor. It is still in the air, even if it is looking a bit ragged.

​

It was to no surprise to Trent of the effectiveness he witnessed as he watched the others take shot after shot at the dragon. Gradicus had apparently gone into some sort of bloodrage and carved up chunks of dragon that could be served as dinner that night... Shaona on the other hand had released some kind of net upon the dragon which had grounded it, allowing for the final death blow. Kimberly had more tricks up her sleeve than she had originally eluded to. The magical sword bolt, the rocket deflection of her shield, it was almost as if she wanted to appear as if she was an ancient warrior, with the added magical ability that fueled her every motion. Terra was controlling the automation from a distance, something he did not know was possible. Trent would have to keep an eye on that one...

Then his attention turned to Foss, who had 'recovered' and fired back at the armored suit, setting it on fire. Not wanting him to have all of the fun, Trent positioned the cross-hairs of the massive Ion Cannon in the center mass of the Titan and pulled the trigger....

 

[Sherwood]

The armored suit decides to dodge out of the way of the blast in order to save his life. This makes the ion bolt go wide.

Atlantean Undead Slayer​

Spoiler: Victory Music

"Wherever I May Roam" by Metallica
Partial lyrics:
"And the Earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I roam
By myself but not alone"

As the dragon gasped its last, the cheering crowds of battles past continued to fly through the mind of the young gladiator. A crazed lust took Gradicus and for one long moment, it seemed as if he were no longer in the present day.

"YEEAAAH!!" he howled wildly as he felt his blades make the dragon fall. His eyes glazed over. He stared into the distance. In his mind, tumultuous throngs of audiences long ago snarled disdainfully at the fallen dragon. "KILL HIM!" they chanted together. Thousands of people in unison. They paid good money to be here - they wanted a real death blow! Proof the dragon was dead!

In times like these, Gradicus the slave would look up at his hated master, the all-powerful Dominus Negalus, and wait for his motion. The command to slay would be given! This was the life of a gladiator! Making show of ending people's lives was part of the glory!

As the body of the dragon collapsed against the River Walker's deck, Gradicus the Red Edge pulled his bloody swords out of the dragon's hide, and in a heated rush, he ran up the neck of the dying thing and leaped high. He roared at the top of his lungs and plunged Summertime, his katana, straight into the brain of the monster. He twisted the blade until the blood spurt from the wound. Then he pulled his blade free and cheered the greatest victory cry he could muster!

"Team! The River Serpent is dead! Victory is ours!!"

Glory belonged to his team! They had not died, but had lived and succeeded!

The memories of the sands and the arena began to fade, but not his feelings. Oh, no. They stirred triumphantly as he watched Eric loose a missile into a fleeing foe. Getting the death blow on the dragon both greatly excited Gradicus and saddened him, for Kimberly, though she had tried so very hard, had not scored on the creature, but instead had struck only the beast's magical shield. She had not drawn its blood. He wondered if that mattered to a woman like her.

In the meantime, Gradicus was glad to be alive. He had survived another battle and lived to tell the tale. He pointed one of his swords at the fleeing enemy. Part of him hoped that the pilot would get away and tell tales to his cohorts, dissuading them from haunting this lake ever again!

Kimberly Finn​

The dragon lies fallen, not even marked by her blade. Kimberly sighs in disappointment and shakes her head in amazement, wondering if it'd directed some kind of magical curse against her. She's grateful, if true, that she had allies for once. The Mystic Knights often fought alone. Certainly she had. It was a strange thing to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with allies but welcome, especially for this fight.

She tilts her head as her attention shifts, sweeping out her senses to make note of the two fleeing power armor suits. One hand sheaths her great sword and then reaches an inch to the side to retrieve her TW Fireburst Rifle, in case they come around again. Over the roar of the River Walker's enhanced engines, she can hear nothing beyond the ship's rails. The suits are retreating but to where? Perhaps ships out of sense but not out of sight.

Kimberly takes to the railing, ready to fire if something comes in range, hoping if there are ships out there that they don't have artillery.

As Kimberly prepares her rifle, the damaged armored flyer banks away from the attack run he was making, and begins to tear of towards the trailing ships.

Those on deck can see that the two ships chasing you have throttled back and are dropping away behind quickly, obviously no longer in the mood to try to continue this fight.

Shaona is still feeling a little shaky from the scare of the dragon, but is starting to recover her nerve.

Blake is still below the deck, and is finishing up his work on the engines.

Terra is out of actions, but thanks to your mystic bond with your Automaton, it still can respond if you so wish. If you don't attack soon, everyone will be out of range. What do you wish to do?

We might actually be able to pull this rescue mission off!
